Database Security
NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases
NetIQ® Change Guardian for Databases™ helps you ensure that critical data stored in databases is secure.
By monitoring access to data stored in databases, NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases closes a critical gap in your data security strategy by tracking access to databases and reporting on user activity that might represent a breach or attack. Reporting and alerting on all activity also provides the information you need to meet the compliance challenges of PCI DSS, HIPAA and more.
With NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases, you will be able to improve security for customer data and, sensitive information, and even identify data that might otherwise be at risk of a breach. It provides essential functions for database protection including:
- Automated data discovery – to find data at rest or in motion and to identify databases on your network you may not be monitoring
- Privileged user monitoring – to ensure the activities of DBAs and other privileged accounts are audited and monitored to reduce risk of insider attack
- Alerting in real-time on suspicious behavior – to help provide you real-time visibility to attacks before they can do damage
- Automatically identifying and blocking risky activity – fingerprinting suspicious behavior, to reduce the likelihood of attack or data loss
- Identifying data at risk – to scan content for such high risk-items as credit card data
Integrating Data Security
Security for data stored in databases is an essential part of your data security strategy. Large volumes of sensitive information reside in your relational databases, but without a way to monitor access, and to correlate events with other security monitoring tools, the risk of a breach going undetected remains high. NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases provides integrated event detection and alerting for all major Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, including NetIQ Security Manager, our own leading SIEM solution.
Privileged User Risk Management
Privileged users routinely access systems containing highly sensitive data - customer information, credit card numbers, social security details and healthcare information. To meet the demands of your organization and auditors, as well as help prevent insider attack and costly data breaches, it is essential that you are able to monitor and report on access and changes to the databases that store sensitive information. NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases provides that essential, and secure, monitoring capability.
Sensitive Data Discovery
Analysis of breaches has shown than in most cases the organizations that suffered the data loss were unaware of the existence of the stolen data. In many cases this is the result of the ease with which data proliferates, and the difficulty in tracking and indentifying sensitive information. NetIQ Change Guardian for Databases provides automatic discovery and recognition for database and sensitive information. This reduces the risk that an unmonitored database holding, for example, credit card information, will become the target of a successful attack.
